Teen Talk Central: A podcast by Teens, for Teens

Speak: Piece 4

Teen Talk Central is a podcast that creates space for honest, unfiltered conversations about what it means to grow up today. Hosted by me, a high school student passionate about psychology and mental wellness, the show dives into everything from identity and friendships to anxiety, ambition, and self-worth.

Each episode reflects real teen voices — the questions we’re asking, the struggles we’re facing, and the growth we’re constantly moving through. My goal is to make people feel seen and understood, even in their most confusing moments. Whether it’s solo reflections or guest interviews, Teen Talk Central is about showing up authentically and letting teens speak for themselves.

This project has helped me explore my own voice and connect with others around the world who are navigating similar experiences. It’s a reminder that even when life feels uncertain, we don’t have to figure it all out alone.
